Most Comprehensive and Secure End-to-End Information Management Platform Now Available as a SaaS Offering

NEW YORK, January 31, 2011 - LegalTech - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader
in infrastructure software, today unveiled the industry's most comprehensive,
cloud-based Information Management platform for the legal market. The
Autonomy's meaning-based platform leverages Autonomy's Intelligent Data
Operating Layer (IDOL), deployed in over 2,000 law firms and legal
departments representing more than 75 percent of the AMLaw 100, to deliver
multiple information management modules from a single intelligent platform.
Autonomy's cloud-based Information Management platform combines WorkSite,
Records Manager, Universal Search, Process Automation and ConflictsManager to
help legal professionals manage content throughout the matter lifecycle from
inception through to disposition.

Autonomy's cloud-based Information Management platform leverages
Autonomy's private cloud, the world's largest private cloud with more than 17
petabytes of data. With over ten years of experience hosting applications for
some of the largest corporations in SAS 70 compliant data centers, Autonomy
is uniquely positioned to enable legal firms to leverage its information
management platform as a secure SaaS offering. The platform allows inside
counsel and outside counsel, as well as service providers to collaborate on a
single set of data in the cloud, eliminating the need to proliferate multiple
copies of content and information handoffs across disparate networks. This
unique legal chaining capability enables rapid deployment, enhanced
collaboration, on-demand scalability, tighter security, and lower total cost
of ownership for all parties involved. The Autonomy platform can also
seamlessly integrate with Autonomy's Meaning Based Governance suite of
applications to protect the informational assets of organizations across the
entire Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM).

"With the introduction of WorkSite as a hosted solution, Autonomy is
leading the legal industry towards the inevitable migration to the cloud,"
said Scott Christensen, Director of Information Services at Wildman, Harrold,
Allen & Dixon LLP. "Corporate counsel and law firms will embrace cloud-based
computing as a lower-cost, more effective information management strategy
that results in better collaboration and efficiency."

Autonomy's cloud-based Information Management platform includes the
following modules:

    -- WorkSite - Enables law firms and corporate clients to link directly to
       relevant matter for a particular investigation or case, resulting in
       quicker access to corporate data and lower eDiscovery costs. It
       enables global corporations to effectively control their data by
       avoiding copying and distributing data to external parties and
       deleting data according to policy. Autonomy empowers mobile lawyers
       with on-demand access to matter content from anywhere at any time on
       any mobile devices, including the Apple iPhone and the Apple iPad.
       This dramatically reduces time, cost and risk of spoliation and loss
       of data.
    -- Records Manager - Supports the unique requirements of the law firm by
       providing dual hierarchy file plans for the management of both client
       and firm records, mobility support, ethical wall security, federation
       across all data sources, including robust physical records management,
       as well as manage-in-place and case management capabilities.
    -- Universal Search - Delivers an intuitive search solution tailored to
       meet the needs of lawyers that leverages the powerful conceptual
       search capability of IDOL to produce results that are contextually
       relevant. Universal Search goes far beyond simple search to provide
       users with automatic categorization, automatic hyper linking, faceted
       navigation, audio and video search.
    -- Process Automation - Addresses the need in complex eForms and
       information processing implementations to manage forms and documents.
       Users are guided through the process using an intuitive wizard or
       table of contents-type director to ensure completion at each step.
    -- ConflictsManager - Enables law firms to quickly and efficiently
       identify any potential conflict of interest prior to accepting a new
       business engagement. This module allows risk managers and conflicts
       analysts to more quickly and soundly vet potential new business and
       lateral hires and reduce the risk of unknown conflicts. Autonomy
       accelerates the process of obtaining and adhering to waiver letters,
       ensuring that the firm and their clients have the protection required
       and billable work can commence quickly, saving time and yielding
       higher revenue.

"Autonomy's unique meaning-based technology, comprehensive offering, and
deep understanding of the legal market allow us to deliver the most effective
and proven platform for information management in the cloud," said Neil
Araujo
, CEO of Autonomy Protect Legal Systems. "Autonomy's cloud-based
Information Management platform offers a faster deployment option, with
on-demand scalability and a lower total cost of ownership."
